Sew n Sew

Morning all, hope you all are enjoying this lovely weather. I can not believe where these weeks are going, I've had a migraine for the last two days, so last night I had A very early night, but then about 11.30 I woke up with a jolt and remembered I hadn't scheduled my post, lol. It took me ages to do my post as the Internet kept going off and on, but hey I got there in the end.. For the next two weeks at Cardz 4 Galz we have a new challenge for you and it's Sew and Sew chosen by Caz, we would love to see your creations as always, so come on guys get your sewing stamps and dies out or anything else you have to do with sewing, we hope you will find inspiration from the DT to help you get started. I am not happy with my card, it took me ages to think what I can do and normally I love making sewing themed cards but I could not think of anything to make, I think it's this migraine, I eventually used an image from Flonz crafts called Vintage Retro which I stamped twice and paper pieced , I have had these stamps for years and this is the first time I have used them, now that's shocking eh..lol, the Taylor's dummy and ruler were free with the card making magazine years ago, I have used a rectangle die which i seem to be using a lot just recently that's from The Works, buttons and the little flower are out of my craft box, handmade by stamp was a present from a friend.

Sympathise with migraine Babs, had real stinkers for day's at a time all my adult life so know how debilitating they are. The heat doesn't help either, it's a bit cooler here this morning though and currently in the middle of a storm.

Wow, Babs! I love that you have incorporated the vintage elements from two different eras! LOOKS FABULOUS! It's details like the ones on your card which remind us of how far women have come, and that we still delight in our femininity! Your "fabric" background looks great! I feel as though I'm back in my childhood, waiting in the fabric store while my mom browses the pattern books and checks out fabrics. Lovely creation! xx

This is so gorgeous. You have made a fantastic job of it Babs. I love everything about it, especially the paper pieced ladies dress.I do hope your migraines have ceased now. I use to get them in batches and had to take to my bed and was very sick with them.HugsCathyxxx

Babs - this is perfect for our Sew and Sew Challenge. It show perfectly the era long gone. I can remember my sister wearing dresses just like the one on your card. How times have changed. Super classy card.
